Entering Time from Your Workspace

In Accolade Projects, your time sheet data impacts the status of tasks, milestones, phases and the overall project, as the system automatically calculates the status of the task, budget and schedule, based on your hours worked and your Estimate to Complete (ETC).

On a daily-basis, use your workspace to update the number of hours that you have worked on for assigned tasks.

Prerequisites

You must have activated your Accolade Projects account and have tasks assigned to you.

To create a enter time from your workspace:

  1. Log in to Accolade Projects.
  2. From the navigation bar at the top of the page, select Workspace, and click on the My Tasks tab.

  3. Locate the task you want to enter time on, and click on the Percent Complete progress bar corresponding to it. The Time Entry dialogue will open.

  4. Enter the number of hours and minutes you’ve worked on the task in the Hours Worked Today field, and the number of hours and minutes that you have left on the task in the How Much Left (ETC) field.

    • Click on Auto Deduct Hours from ETC to have the system reduce the number of hours entered in your Hours Worked Today field from the number of hours planned.

  5. If your assigned workload is done for this task, select the My Part of this Task is Done check-box. This will set your ETC on the task to zero.

  6. If needed, change your task’s status by clicking on the respective color radio button.

    Note:  Flagging a task red denotes that you have encountered an issue, and this must be clarified in the comments of your update. The task’s user status will be red in your Workspace and the task’s WBS.

  7. Enter relevant comments for your status update.

  8. Click on Submit.

    • To reset the data you entered, click on Reset.

    • To cancel this entry, click on Cancel.

  9. Once submitted, your task’s Percent Complete progress bar, and the Status graph located to the right of your Workspace will update to reflect the new time entry you saved.

    • To filter your list of tasks by the corresponding types, click on Filter by Task Type under the Status graph, and click on a number of tasks to view them.

    • To set up a personal to-do list, click on My To Do List under the Status graph. Click on the Add button to enter items into your list, type in your to-do item, and click on the Save button.
